Hi All, I've been taking azathioprine for two weeks now and in the last two days have had awful abdominal pain (across upper abdomen) woth slight fever, and today with vomiting too. My TPMT is low and I was given half the dose for my weight. I thought I had caught gastroenteritis from my youngest since he is also ill at the moment, but I now strongly believe it's the medication. Also had a tickly throat for a week now. Has anyone else had something similar? Many thanks for anyone that reads this.
